Oh well a girl can dream!!
Now back to reality. In between tag making and card making to post on here I always have a scrapbook page on the go. I don't always show them too you because we are a shy family and I don't want to post the photos which is why you just get bits of them and only the full layouts when they of objects!!!!
Today is no exception. I have at last used the crafters workshop butterfly stencil on a layout that my lovely blog friend Sally included in her blog candy a few months ago.I made my own background paper by spritzing with starburst stains and then drew the stencil with a soft pencil and went over it with pastel Whispers felt tip pens and just coloured parts of it in.
The photos were of a visit to a butterfly house so I stamped some of the lovely Butterfly Beauties from Stampendous using distress inks and cut them out giving them gem bodies and used these as my embellishments along with a few flourishes from the same set. I didn't want to cover up the background too much so didn't add anything else apart from the title, which I did on acetate and a bit of journalling which was cut from a nestability.I really enjoyed using the stencil and will have to think of more ways to include it, thank you again Sally.
Before I go I must also say a lovely thank you to Kate who sent me these 2 lovely awards. I shall wear them with pride and would like to pass them on to my following blog friends, all of which are a great inspiration and always full of encouragement.

You are sooooo clever! That butterfly stencil looks fantastic, especially with your gorgeous photos! I couldn't have sent it to a better home! Many, many thanks too for the lovely awards! You have made my day!
Hi Lisa. Made my day too! Thank you so much for the awards. I'll display them very proudly on my blog. I love the way you've used the Butterfly Beauties stamps to make embellishments for your LO. They look so delicate, and go perfectly with the stencil. Was the butterfly house the one at the Canal Gardens in Leeds? I went there not long after it first opened, but haven't been back since.
Awe Lisa, thank you so much for the award...I truly appreciate it & will pop it on with pride! XXX
Hi Guys. Thanks for your wonderful comments. Yes, Lynne. The photos were of Tropical World at Roundhay, Leeds. It's a great visit, not only the butterflies but fish, animals and Meercats too, a great favourite with Freya.
